Chapter 101: Battle
Lin Yang only hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth. "Elder Poison, this time I'll lead the attack!"
This Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was simply too perfect; he didn't want to give up on it until the very end.
"Lin kid, are you crazy?"
Dugu Bo's voice was filled with anger.
Even he was no match for it. As a Three-Ring Soul Master, even with limit-surpassing Soul Rings, Lin Yang would likely be swatted into meat paste the moment he rushed in front of this terrifying Soul Beast.
Lin Yang didn't say a word, only slowly releasing his Martial Soul.
With a flash of dark light, the Nichirin Blade appeared in his hand.
Not only that, but his body began to grow taller, his skin became pale, and the ends of his originally pure black hair were dyed with a gradient of red and blue.
Two short white horns appeared on both sides of his forehead.
The most striking change was his pupils, which had turned from black into a gradient of red to blue.
At the same time, six Soul Rings—one yellow, one purple, and four black—slowly emerged from beneath his feet.
Ye Xuanyin's eyes widened, his face filled with horror: "A Soul Emperor?"
"No, it's not." Dugu Bo's voice trembled slightly. "It's Twin Martial Souls!"
He stared at Lin Yang with his massive serpent pupils. "Is this your trump card?"
Lin Yang took a deep breath, and a large area of dark red flame patterns suddenly appeared on his pale cheeks, spreading from his face across half of his body.
"Elder Poison, let me try."
Dugu Bo looked at Lin Yang, remained silent for a few seconds, and finally nodded. "Fine, I'll let you try. However, my Martial Soul True Form can only last for ten more minutes. After ten minutes, regardless of the outcome, we must retreat."
"Alright." Lin Yang nodded.
Immediately, the black Soul Ring beneath his feet suddenly lit up, and two streaks of light instantly flew toward Dugu Bo and Ye Xuanyin.
"Elder Poison, Senior Ye, do not resist!"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo and Ye Xuanyin did not use their Soul Power to resist, letting the two streaks of light land on them.
The light left an eye-shaped seal on the surface of their bodies.
"What is this?"
The moment Dugu Bo finished speaking, his vision underwent an earth-shattering change.
The original World of color was replaced by black and white, but he could clearly see the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's body structure, energy flow, and even its weak points.
It could be said that everything about the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was now under his observation.
"Haha, Lin kid, this Soul skills of yours is simply incredible!" Ye Xuanyin laughed loudly.
Lin Yang smiled slightly, and his voice rang out in their minds. "Seniors, this is the First Soul Skill of my second Martial Soul. It allows for Shared Vision and a Consciousness Link."
Shared Vision was originally an ability of Blindfold, but as the age of the Soul Ring continued to increase, the Blindfold Soul skills gained other abilities, such as the Consciousness Link.
It was very similar to Huo Yuhao's spiritual sharing skill, but not quite as convenient.
"No wonder you're so confident. As long as we know its weaknesses, things will be much easier."
Dugu Bo's Battle Intent reignited. He had wanted to retreat before because he couldn't figure out this Soul Beast's true nature.
Now that everything was clear at a glance, he naturally had no fear.
"I'll be crazy with you this once!"
Lin Yang took a deep breath, and round two officially began.
Clang!
The long blade was unsheathed, its body humming softly.
Lin Yang was the first to launch an attack, the first, second, and third Soul Rings of his Blade Martial Soul lighting up simultaneously.
Blade energy slashed through the sky, hacking straight down toward the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's nape.
He hadn't picked a spot at random; he had chosen the weakest point of the Dark Golden Shield on its body.
Bang!
Crack!
The shield shattered in response.
A hint of human-like astonishment flashed through the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's cruel and indifferent pupils.
Although it hadn't caused substantial damage to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Lin Yang's strike proved that his attacks were indeed effective.
That turtle shell was not unbreakable.
Dugu Bo and Ye Xuanyin were instantly invigorated.
"Old Man Ye, the two of us will support the Lin kid's offensive."
"Alright!"
Dugu Bo and Ye Xuanyin quickly reached a consensus. Lin Yang would be responsible for breaking the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's defense, and the moment it broke would be the best time for them to deal damage.
At this moment, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's cold gaze had already locked onto Lin Yang.
It hadn't expected that this human with the weakest aura would actually have the ability to break its Dark Golden Shield.
Such a person must die first!
Terrifying claw energy whistled through the air, every move aimed to kill.
Lin Yang's pupils were crimson. Under the Transparent World, he was like a dancer on a wire, narrowly avoiding wave after wave of lethal intent.
At the same time, he searched for every possible opportunity to counter-attack.
Dugu Bo and Ye Xuanyin assisted from the side, keeping the beast pinned down.
Every time the Dark Golden Shield was broken, even more violent attacks would land on its body.
Poison eroded it, and flames scorched it.
The injuries on the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear grew increasingly severe, and the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison began to affect its nervous System.
Its attacks were no longer as powerful as before, and its speed became even slower.
The scales of victory were quietly tilting in their favor.
Bang!
A claw blade lunged toward his face. Lin Yang didn't dodge; instead, he raised his arm, using the Skeletal Armor on it to block the strike.
The Skeletal Armor exploded, and his muscles were torn open, yet they instantly restored themselves to their original state.
He stomped his foot, and the ground instantly exploded into a pit.
Lin Yang brandished the long blade in his hand, and a massive fire dragon condensed amidst a roar.
"Sun Breathing, Eleventh Form: Solar Halo Dragon Dance!"
The fire dragon churned and its body wound around, enveloping the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and the Dark Golden Shield on its body shattered.
Lin Yang didn't retreat immediately this time; he prepared to finish it in one stroke.
His feet stepped onto the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's body, and the three Soul Rings—one yellow, one purple, and one black—instantly underwent Fusion, condensing into a massive black Soul Ring.
"Domain Slash!"
Endless blade energy swept out like a storm, completely enveloping the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
The Dark Golden Shield it had just condensed was crushed to pieces the moment it appeared.
And it didn't end there; the blood from Lin Yang's hand also continuously seeped into its body through the wound.
A sharp light flashed in the eyes of Dugu Bo and Ye Xuanyin. Seizing the opportunity, the Soul Power around them surged relentlessly.
Lin Yang, knowing their thoughts through the Consciousness Link, immediately pulled back and retreated.
"Eighth Soul Skill: Time Freeze!"
A jade-green pearl was spat out from Dugu Bo's serpent mouth, and in an instant, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's body froze solid.
"Eighth Soul Skill: Burning Heavens!"
A massive fire lotus enveloped the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and the color at the center of the lotus even took on a hint of milky white.
Just that tiny, inconspicuous bit of milky white flame directly burned a small portion of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's massive claw to charcoal.
Roar—!
Time Freeze shattered, and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear let out a heart-wrenching roar of pain, its eyes flashing with an extremely violent and furious light.
It seemed prepared to fight to the death against the three of them.
But under the Transparent world vision, its muscle and energy flow exposed its true intention—it was going to flee!
"Stop it!"
Dugu Bo's massive body soared, his serpent tail tightly coiling around one of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's arms.
A mass of fire lotus firmly locked onto its feet.
Dugu Bo felt some anxiety at this moment because the time for his Martial Soul True Form was almost up.
Once he exited his Martial Soul True Form, his strength would be greatly reduced. At that time, regardless of whether they were successful, they would have to retreat.
If that happened, all their previous efforts would be wasted.
Just then, two black Soul Rings on Lin Yang's body flashed simultaneously.
"Flesh Thorns!"
"Bone Manipulation!"
The blood he had previously let flow inside was turning into thorns covered in barbs, growing frantically within its flesh.
Others were constantly mutating into pale skeletons, rampaging inside its body and destroying its internal organs.
Lin Yang's external attacks dealt limited damage to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, but its insides were not nearly as thick as its hide.
